BRIEFCASE

May 4, 1993

IBM MONDAY appointed Jerome B. York, who helped return Chrysler Corp. to profitability, as its chief financial officer, again turning outside the company for a top executive. York, 54, will join Louis V. Gerstner Jr., who last month became the first outsider to be appointed chairman of International Business Machines Corp., at the head of the effort to revive the ailing computer maker.
